You Should Enter “Darknet” On Netflix Immediately
Bloody Disgusting reader Glenn F. sent me an e-mail last week tipping me off to a new series that just hit Netflix Instant.
“Darknet” – not to be confused with IFC’s feature – hails out of Canada from Cube and Splice director Vincenzo Natali, and even Ginger Snaps 2‘s Brett Sullivan.
Glenn explained that it was sort of a rip-off of our V/H/S films, as well as ABCs of Death, which prompted me to check it out. While I won’t say whether or not I think it’s lifting from the aforementioned films, I was highly impressed by it.
Darkness centers around the website http://darknetfiles.com/, and tells new stories each episode. There are 6 episodes in the inaugural season and each tell various tales that (usually) collide. There’s a very “Twilight Zone” vibe with “Tales From the Crypt”-esque finales that will definitely surprise you (even when you think you know what’s going to happen the filmmakers find a way to shock you).
It’s unfortunate there’s only 6 episodes available, but hopefully some positive momentum in the horror community will get a second season greenlit?
Go check it out this weekend and tell us what you think.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
